A few weeks ago, we left Charleston in our wake and officially picked up where we left off on our Great Loop back in 2019. We thought this would be a good time to recap what the Great Loop is, our history with it, why we went on an extended pause and what our intentions […]
Travel Plans
Our Fall/Winter 2023 Van Trip Plans: Oregon for EclipseFest23 and Arizona!
It’s hard to believe we’ve been back in Sanford nearly a month now, it’s gone by so quickly!

All of this despite some record breaking days with excessive […]
Back to Boat Life – Our COVID-19 Isolation Cruising Plans & Resources for Fellow Nomads
What a crazy world we live in these days, and it’s changing faster than any of us can keep up.

Oof. It’s been a jam packed crazy past few weeks. Between 2+ weeks heading down to Florida to be with my mom last month. And returning to the boat in Savannah just to prepare and evacuate for Hurricane Dorian. We’ve hardly had a chance to rest and catch up. We waited out Hurricane Dorian’s path […]
Letting Serendipity Do the Steering (We’re Staying on the Boat This Winter)
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over our years of perpetual travel is to trust. Trust that things will work out. Even when you think you have a plan, look at it as setting intentions and be open to shifts. The past month has been a reminder of that. Our ‘plans’ going forward have […]
